The second part of the season promises to be more complicated for Arsenal. Since Bukayo Saka’s injury against Crystal Palace (5-1) on December 21, the Gunners’ offensive compartment has been in difficulty.
And the situation should not improve, since the English vice-champion also lost Gabriel Jesus against Manchester United (1-1, tab 3-5) in the FA Cup on Sunday. The Brazilian striker suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will be out of action until the end of the season.
“We know who we want to recruit”
Before Tottenham’s reception at the Emirates Stadium this Wednesday in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta, Arsenal coach, spoke with optimism about the London team’s winter transfer window. He notably claimed to have identified the ideal reinforcements for his team.
“We know who we want to recruit. We have a very clear idea of the players we want, yes. This was before the Gabriel Jesus injury and this is the case now with Gabi injured and we have to wait and see how things develop.”explained the Basque technician to journalists.
